Aryl is defined as phenyl and a and fi-naphthyl.

The compounds of the invention are prepared by reacting approximately equimolar amounts of an S-oxide derivative of cephalosporin having the formula III:

0 R1 I l s R2 ..N

0 0 R III with a compound of the formula wherein R is as defined herein and Z is a typical leaving group" such as iodo, chloro, bromo, tosylate, brosylate,

quaternary amino, etc. to yield a compound of the formula IV:

0 R2 I S INT-l O= -N a R CO 0 R 4 IV I S ELM-l 1 O= N R R C O O R V 3 wherein R R R R and R are as defined above. Hydrolysis of this compound gives the-corresponding 7-aminocephalosporanic acid having the formula VI:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION The compounds of formula IV above are prepared by reacting a compound of formula III with a R Z in the presence of a base such as alkali metal hydride (e.g., sodium hydride, potassium hydride), alkali metal hydroxide (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide), alkali metal alkoxide (e.g., sodium ethoxide or potassium t-butoxide), triton [5, etc. in the presence of an organic solvent of the aromatic type such as benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, methoxybenzene, etc.; ethereal solvents such as ether, dimethoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran, alcoholic solvents such as methanol, ethanol isopropanol and t-butanol and other common reagents such as acetonitrile, nitromethane, dimethylformamide and acetone, and mixtures thereof. This reaction is carried out at a temperature of from about 20 C. to +50 C., preferably 10 C. to about +10 C. It should be noted that milder bases may be employed with higher temperatures to achieve the same result. The novel intermediates of formula IV are thus formed and then isolated by conventional means. Reduction of the compounds are achieved by treatment in an organic solvent which is inert to the reducing agent, such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, etc. with one equivalent of phosphorus trichloride or an acyl halide followed by passing the compound over zinc dust at temperatures of about C. to about C. yielding the desired compounds having the formula V. As mentioned above one equivalent of a base may be utilized in carrying out the substitution of R in the 4-position. However, should R be hydrogen, it is preferred to utilize two equivalents of base during the alkylation process.

Compound VI, wherein R and R =H, which is also a novel intermediate, can be acylated by one of the following methods:

(a) Reaction of the compound of general formula VI with an acid chloride, acid anhydride, active ester or acid azide.

(b) Reaction of the compound of general formula VI with a carboxylic acid activated by reaction with a carbonyl-diimidazole, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or similar activating agent; in addition, a mixed anhydride of an acid corresponding to the desired acyl group and another acid employed, the mixed anhydride being formed separately or in situ by reaction of the acid corresponding to the desired acyl group with an alkyl haloformate, the reaction with the mixed anhydride preferably being conducted in solution in an anhydrous, inert solvent in the presence of an acid binding agent e.g., a tertiary amine.

The compounds of this invention have a broad spectrum of antibiotic activity. They have antibacterial activity against microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes. They may be used as antibacterial agents in a prophylactic manner, e.g., in cleaning or disinfecting compositions, or otherwise to combat infections due to organisms such as those named above, and in general may be utilized in a manner similar to cephalothin, cephalexin, cephaloridine and other cephalosporins. For example, a compound of Formula I may 16' be used in various animal species in an amount of about 0.1 to mg./kg. daily. What is claimed is: 1.
